I just got under there and to take a better look and when I grabbed the oil filter to move it around I also saw the bracket moving with it. So it isn't a double gasket like I was hoping. Any tips on how to fix this? I really don't want to have to bring it to the mechanic

When I start my truck (96 explorer xlt with the 4.0) it leaks oil like crazy. I went to tighten the oil filter and it was tight but the filter and the bracket that it gets screwed onto moved. It seems like the bolt that hold the bracket on might be loose? Mind you it's 6 degrees out and with the...

Update: I replaced the tensioner and it's all fixed no squealing anymore. Thanks for the help guys :D

When I start up my truck (happens with both remote start and key start) there is a very loud screeching coming from the belt I'm assuming. It only happens for a quick second and only on startup no matter if the engines hot or cold. I just replaced the belt a few months ago and it stopped for...

Yeah I didn't think they would fit. Someone on Craigslist in my area was selling the pre runner style fender for a f150 for $50 so I figured it was worth finding out about

Does anyone know if 2003 f150 fenders will fit on a 96 explorer?

Yeah I actually turned the wheels when the front of the truck was jacked up and there was power steering fluid spewing all over the place so that makes sense. Thanks for the advice!

This morning driving to work I was going 45-50ish and switched lanes and right as I did I got a pretty heavy wobble in my steering wheel. It was enough that I had to slow down to control the steering wheel. Once I picked up again and got back up to that speed it was fine. I just put on a set of...

What did you use to trim it? And after you cut away the fender were you left with a big hole?

I recently bought a set of terra grapplers from a friend so I bought some wheels for them and when I put them on my truck I wasn't able to turn the steering wheel all the way. I would have to trim some of the bottom of the fender to make them fit. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions...

I'm in desperate need of front shocks mine are pretty much non existent. Any suggestions on front shocks? I just installed the Monroe load adjusting shocks in the rear about a month ago and they're great. I'm running a tt and shackles and considering doing a 3" body lift within the next few months.

I wasn't sure if it would be reliable enough to tow off the bumper... Now that I think about it the bumper is bolted to the frame right where a hitch would be bolted to

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good trailer hitch for a 96 XLT 4.0 that's not too pricey? I'd be pulling most likely a tilt trailer (I don't have a trailer yet) with up to 2 quads and a dirtbike on it for about 45 minutes each way to a riding spot.

So I turned my headlights on before and noticed that my dash lights didn't turn on. Then I got out and realized that my day time running lights, tail lights and license plate lights were also not on, only the headlights were on. Any one have any ideas on what could be wrong? I checked the fuse...

Right now I have 31" good year wranglers on. And I'm running a TT and shackles. I'm also considering a body lift. And I also would be opposed to trimming to make them fit better

So I just found a set of nitto terra grapplers on Craigslist for $100. The tread isn't perfect but for $100 I couldn't pass them up. They're 295 70r17 and I was just wondering if anyone has/is running these on their second gen. And I also have no idea what size rims I should be looking for...

My measurements are reading Driver front 35" Pass front 36" Driver rear 33 1/2". Pass rear 35" That is from ground to top of wheel well. I've only had the truck since January 2015 but I have not been in an accident with it and don't believe the previous owner was in...

Even after putting the Monroes in I still am sagging. I'm thinking it is maybe because of an uneven TT in the front? I'm going to try to balance out the TT is it right=down and left=up when cranking on the torsion bolts?

My 96 XLT 4.0 was sagging pretty bad in the read and espically the drivers side (the drivers side sits almost 3" Lower than the passenger side) so I bought brand new leaf springs and when I just installed them and re measured the ride height it was exactly the same as before I put the new...
